Applicant’s Comments

 

None.

 

 

Staff Comments

 

Jean Lamontagne, Director of Development, advised that the applicant had satisfactorily responded to the Development Permit Panel’s concerns, expressed at the August 30, 2006 panel meeting. The applicant had pulled the development closer to Palmberg Road, thereby leaving a larger vegetated strip between the dwelling and the farmed area. In addition, enhancement planting, specifically oriented to supporting wildlife, had also been incorporated to further offset the development impacts on the site’s habitat. For these reasons staff supports the application.

Panel Discussion

 

None.

It was moved and seconded

 

That a Development Permit be issued which would permit the construction of a single-family dwelling and accessory buildings at 10351 Palmberg Road on a site zoned Agricultural District (AG1) and designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Area.
